BogatRadvan asked an admin to obscure their IP address. Upon looking, that IP's contrib here matches Tarabostes' contrib making socking apparent. I believe this is a more longstanding nationalistic sockmaster but I'm not sure who that is. Please check for sleepers...this user isn't new and I'm certain he has more socks. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  15:33, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Added 212.37.64.18 as this masking has been requested for it as well.

 * I believe this is likely Bizovne. Although the last CU data is stale in the archive, IP's which are approximate to this may be found there.

Something's wrong here. So BogatRadvan is not Tarabostes, but you blocked this address http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/94.136.133.131 of this new user. I think you blocked paying user or  with an expiry time of 1 year with Static IP address in his name. --Omen1229 (talk) 12:45, 15 February 2013 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  13:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe that you have misunderstood DeltaQuad's findings. I understand that BogatRadvan is included with the other socks which is why that IP has been blocked...it is implied within the results.

 * BogatRadvan himself wrote that it is his address, this user did not hide anything and as a new user forgot to log in...--Omen1229 (talk) 13:21, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This "investigation" is quite doubtful, BogatRadvan is not Tarabostes, but this user has blocked own IP address and the reason is that BogatRadvan wrote that she/he forgot to log in. Further verification is needed here, I'm sure that BogatRadvan has other documents (agreement, utility bills) that proof his ownership of the address - 94.136.133.131 --Omen1229 (talk) 22:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

 * BogatRadvan is using a now blocked proxy, and therefore to the following. The following are :


 * There could be more sleepers, but without being able to say for sure as they have no edits, I can't list them here. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  21:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * @BereanHunter, I have clarified above, but generally if a CU says it's editing on a blocked proxy, then it will probably be inconclusive to everything else unless directly noted differently. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  21:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Iaaasi's new socks blocked and tagged. I'm not sure what to do with Bogat. Perhaps someone else can conclude if he behaviorally matches Iaaasi or not. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:44, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Since I haven't seen Bogat's behavior within the time I've dealt with Iaaasi as a sock, and knowing the technical data behind Iaaasi, I'm going to conclude he isn't a sock. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  21:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
